Georges Melies is definitely one of the pioneers of early cinema, and remains one of my all time favourite filmmakers. His unique and imaginative vision can not be overstated, and its effect on the industry as a whole.
This is one of his earliest films, and one of the first ever fantasy features. It is all conveyed beautifully in its short run time, Melies plays with revolutionary scenery and acting in splendid ways.
The transitions are beautiful, very revolutionary and beautiful cinematography and editing. Truly wonderfully cut and shot. You can very much see his style taking form.
Overall, indeed a very recommended early fictional feature! Should be enjoyed by any lover of film.
